About This Gigapan

Taken on 11/29/09 from the Culp Valley Overlook in Anza-Borrego Desert Park, east of San Diego in California, looking west towards the mountains. A storm was trying to surge over the mountains, leaving snow on the upper reaches. At the bottom are several upper forks of Hellhole Canyon; if you zoom in you can see cottonwood trees changing color.
